More hay is assured the user of Hoffman Inoculant 
... whether it’s alfalfa, clover or soy beans. Even 
though inoculation had been previously practiced, 
it pays to INOCULATE the seed for EVERY NEW 
SEEDING. 
Pasture Improvement 
Where no manure is used, the average recommendation 
in Pennsylvania and other states is 400 to 500 pounds of 
superphosphate. New York State recommends as high 
as 800 pounds. 
It would be better to use as much as 400 pounds of 
0-14-6 or 0-14-14. Potash brings on white clover quicker.

Proper Application of Lime on a Seed Bed 
It is best to lime when the soil is dry. Experiments 
have shown that lime on one-half of one field, that was 
worked in thoroughly before a rain, was much more 
effective than in the balance of the field after a rain. It 
seems that lime does not work down into the soil as 
soon as was once thought it would. It takes a lot less 
lime to neutralize the soil properly when the lime is 
worked down thoroughly than if the lime is left too near 
the top. It takes lime applied on top several years to 
work down to plow depth.

On farms where every possible acre is already in 
production, here’s a proved means of helping those 
acres do a better job. In this way . . . Treat all the 
legume seeds you sow with Hoffman Inoculant and 
GROW YOUR OWN NITROGEN 
Help every legume crop you put out do a better 
job for you. The Clovers, Alfalfas, Soy Beans, 
Vetch, Peas—all have the ability to gather some 
nitrogen from the air while growing. And deposit 
it at their roots. But here’s a way to get more of 
that precious nitrogen ... at almost no cost! It 
certainly does tell on the growing crop. Many 
Hoffman customers who made tests have said they 
can tell the difference, to the row, where the in- 
oculated seed was sown. It was so much better. 
One careful Wisconsin test showed actual by- 
weight crop increases (over un-inoculated seed) 
of 33 per cent more Soy Beans—40 per cent more 
Clover—67 per cent more Alfalfa! You just can't 
get such returns anywhere else on the farm— 
$20 to $40 gain in crop value, by investing maybe 
10 to 20 cents an acre! 
AMAZING RETURN FOR LOW COST 
Fifteen cents’ worth of the Alfalfa Inoculant has re- 
turned 1,680 more pounds of Hay in one cutting. 
Nine cents’ worth of Red Clover Inoculant has 
produced 460 more pounds of Hay to the acre. 
Hoffman Inoculant is GUARANTEED to be a pure, 
live, fresh culture—and to produce the nitrogen- 
catching nodules. Its quality and efficiency have 
always shown up well when checked by authorita- 
tive laboratories. 
Oats following inoculated Red Clover has done 
twice as well as Oats following Timothy, because 
of that nitrogen-catching inoculant. 
Certain legumes (Soy Beans especially) may 
often actually take out more from the soil than they 
can put back. But if Hoffman Inoculant is cor- 
rectly applied to the seed this changes... and a 
real soil-improving job is accomplished. 
BE SURE TO GET THE RIGHT INOCULANT. 
What's good for Red Clover won't do for Soy 
Beans. You have to have the right inoculant to get 
results. Hoffman has one special inoculant for Red 
Clover, Mammoth, Alsike, White Clover. ... An- 
other for Alfalfa and Sweet Clover. . . . Another 
for Soy Beans. ... Another for Vetch and Canada 
Peas. One for Cow Peas and for Lespedeza. 
ORDER Hoffman Inoculant for EVERY new seed- 
ing of the legumes. Yes—even if you inoculated 
for that field before. IT PAYS!
